Where to place the Switch:

The enclosure of the Switch is designed for desktop or under-mount configuration. An optional Mount Kit (Belkin part number F1D008) is available.

Consider the following when deciding where to place the Switch:

•your proximity to the port selectors on the front of the Switch

•the lengths of the cables attached to your keyboard, monitor, and mouse

•the location of your computers in relation to your console

•the lengths of the cables you use to connect your computers to the Switch

Warning: Avoid placing cables near fluorescent lights, air-conditioning equipment, or machines that create electrical noise (e.g., vacuum cleaners).

Step 1 Connecting the Console to the Switch

Warning: Before attempting to connect anything to the Switch or your computers, please ensure that all computer equipment and devices are powered off.

Connect your monitors, keyboard, mouse, and speaker to the rear of the Switch in the “User Console” section. (Refer to diagram on page 8)
